The Starbucks Experience

So as everyone knows, I have been sick for the past week, but I went to the doctors and got antibiotics.  I am feeling much better now, but this is not what I have come on to talk about today.  So Thursday, I went to my usual afternoon tutorial for general History 16.  When I got there my Tutor looked at me and asked, "Are you sick?" I said, "Yes, I have been sick for a day or so now." He replied back to me, "No, No, No, this is no good, you need to go home."  I then replies, "No its fine I am already here I can just do the tutorial."  Well his reply pretty much just said, "You look horrible . . . I mean no offense, but you do.  You need to get to a Doctor, email me this weekend and we will just plan for your tutorial another day, OK? Ok good.  Good bye."

Well I just stared in shock and said my goodbyes and left.  Well I was determined that I was not going to make my trip into town a waste, so I decided to go to Starbucks and get a Chai Tea Latte.  Those are my favorite drinks when I am sick so I decided it was worth the expensive 3 pounds to get this amazing treat.  I biked to Starbucks and got my drink for "take away" (the British term for "to go").  I got my Chai Tea, set it down on the ground and started unlocking my bike to walk it with me back to the Vines.  The Starbucks is right before the infamous big "Headington Hill" that I cannot bike up to save my life.  But just as I clicked the last number on that dreaded safety lock of mine, my bike left my hands and fell over spilling all the wonderful Chai Tea goodness that I hadn't even had a sip of!  To make everything better I through up my hands and yelled, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME" hitting the nice old lady who had been walking innocently in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I apologized profusely, grabbed my bike, left the Chai Tea sidewalk mess and walked up that dreaded hill with the feeling of defeat.


So today after that awful Starbucks experience I decided to return head held high with My friend Emma Roemhildt to attempt that wonderful Chai drink of amazingness.  Emma went upstairs to save seats and I stood confidently in line and ordered one Grande Chai Tea Latte.  I went upstairs with the feeling of success in my heart and a cough in my chest.  I sat down next to Emma, grabbed my Chai, and took a sip, but nothing about that foamy imposter tasted like a Chai.  No, IT WAS A REGULAR, BITTER, COFFEE TASTING, LATTE!

I just sat down shook my head and said, "GOD DOES NOT WANT ME TO HAVE A CHAI TEA LATTE!" But did I give up? NO! I strutted downstairs and told that "so-called barista" that I ordered a Chai Tea Latte and this was a regular one! She apologized and made me a fresh hot wonderful Chai Tea Latte that I sit now and drink in wonderful success!

                And Here is my wonderful Chai success! Winning never tasted so spicy!

So there is my Starbucks Experience! I will never take advantage of my Chai Tea Latte again!
Well tata for now!
